Travis worked for the Gas & Power company in Oasis Plains, Oklahoma. He and Dustin were working when Dustin noticed something strange about the ground. Travis was on the phone when Dustin fell into the hole and broke his ankle. Travis rushed to the truck to get rope to get Dustin out, but by the time he got back, Dustin was already dead.

Travis was later greeted by Dustin's "nephews" and they asked him what had happened. Travis told them and pointed to the area where it had occurred.
